AF&RS to open its wholetime firefighter recruitment campaign in the new year

Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) is set to launch a recruitment campaign to find the next generation of wholetime firefighters at the beginning of 2025.

Ask any firefighter and they will tell you it’s the best job in the world. What’s great about being a firefighter at AF&RS is the opportunity to progress your career and develop your skill set and there are so many opportunities to learn and develop.

There is so much variation to the role, each day you will be faced with something different. As well as responding to a wide range of emergencies, from road traffic collisions, firefighting, chemical incidents, rope, water, and animal rescue and providing medical care to those in need, you’ll also provide fire safety advice by visiting people’s homes, businesses, and schools.
